Noctua SSO2 Bearing, Retail Cooling NF-F12 iPPC 2000 PWM

its noisy and there is a bearing sound, not recommended for noise sensitive. else get the noctua nf a12x25 chromax, still one of the best and quite fan.

Fans were easy to install.

These fans are made to be used on radiators, or in areas with restricted air flow, like the front of your computer case, to blow air through your hard drives, if you have any, or just anywhere that might in any way hinder air flow. Installed these on a Corsair H100i CPU radiator, to replace some Corsair SP120 HP fans I bought for it originally, because one of the fans was making a grinding noise, like something was wrong with the bearing, they were getting increasingly loud, and I wasn't getting the performance I wanted. I installed these no problem, using the same screws off the other fans. All in all, I was done in about 10 minutes, taking my time. I ran the fans at 100% speed, and let me tell you, at that speed these things are pretty loud. They're as loud as the Corsair fans I had. But at a lower RPM, and they move WAY more air! I had my hand about 4ft above the PC tower (radiator is mounted on the top) and could feel air moving! These suckers don't play. I messed around in my bios trying to get the fans set right. Even with my i7 4790k OCed to 4.5ghz, these fans won't usually run above 1250-1300mhz. Even on the H100i AIO. That's mighty impressive. I was getting 100 degrees Celcius with my old fans, running Prime95, testing the CPU with the overclock. I ran it for about ten minutes, and they didn't go above 85 (that's what I was getting with the Corsair fans brand new without the OC.) I ran it for about 5 minutes, after adjusting the profile again, and the fans only ran at 1250-1300 rpm and never went above 65C. Just browsing around, they're almost dead silent. And that's on a silly AIO cooler. If you have a custom loop, you could set these things to 1000RPM and forget about it. Aesthetics are way better than the premium retail model NF-F12. Only thing I would like about that model, is it only running up to 1500RPM, so it would never get really loud. All in all, terrific fan, although pricey. But you get premium fan, for premium dollar. Will be buying more of these when I redo my build for water cooling later on this year.

Lo uso para ingresar aire con fuerza a una RTX 3060 Ti a través del conducto de ventilación angulado en la parte inferior de mi gabinete NZXT H5 Flow. La verdad es una chulada de ventilador y ayuda a refescar no solo mi GPU, también todo el sistema en conjunto con otros 5 ventiladores noctua NF-P12 redux de 1700 rpm. Estoy encantado con esta marca, he estado con temperaturas en casa entre 38 y 40 °C a veces un poco mas y mi GPU no pasa de picos de 69°C en plena carga y promedio de 65°C, mi CPU es un i5 13400f y en usó del procesador entre el 60% a 85% en gaming a 38°C de temperatura ambiente, me dió picos de temperatura de 64 °C y promedio de 60°C, el dicipador es un noctua NH-U12S chromax black con pasta tenermica suministrada con el producto y la curva de ventiladores está con prioridad a que la GPU no pase de 74 °C. Escribo todo esto esperado que a alguien le sea de utilidad,como a mi me han servido tantas reseñas de personas que se toman el tiempo de compartir sus experiencias. El material se siente de muy buena calidad, el ventilador en general es silencioso y a plena carga no molesta pues al estar dentro del gabinete, el sonido se ve bastante reducido y desde mi percepción no es molesto.

Used this fan as replacement fan for noctua cooler and it works great. It is fairly loud if you push it to the max but for the performance you can forgive that.

Totally changed my H60 Corsair! It's more powerful now than ever before! Idle temp 29 Celsius. Never reached beyond 50. Specs it worked flawless on: -i7-4770K OC @ 4.1Ghz, 16TB RAM, GTX960 2GB (don't even remember which card i had when used this fan...it's al blurry, and i have tried too many GPUs. lol, -HP W2558HC and BenQ XL2411Z monitors. ---- P.S. Reporting on 2020-April; the Eagle has landed in the trash, but it's dead. I didn't even get to use it for more than six months. I switched back to using old Corsair's default radiator FAN for H80, and this fan was just sitting around--in a box. Maybe that's why it is dead now. There goes my money in the gutter.
